"We need to put in a big performance (tomorrow against Mumbai Indians). We know we were below par for at least 10 games. We have nothing to lose and will go out and give it our best shot," said the South African batsman ahead of their penultimate match of the season.
The Daredevils have slumped to seven straight losses and have just two victories in 12 games under their belt which has placed them at the bottom of the eight-team table.
"We have done well in patches. It's about putting good performance, in terms of the whole game, together. We have done only one thing right at most times. If we had batted well we had not bowled well and if we bowled well we had not bat well in that game. If we can get all three disciplines (including fielding) right we would give ourselves a good chance," he said.
